The score is now 1-0, in the 1st stringer's favour. The gardening enthusiasts are concerned for the Niou/Atobe pair. Niou/Tezuka successfully uses Zero Shiki Serve which shocks Fuji since Niou wasn't able to use that at the Nationals. Niou serves two more times bringing the game score to 40-0, in the 2nd stringers favour. Mouri successfully returns the fourth serve, only for Niou to use Tezuka Zone. However Atobe hits the ball and scores the point. The score is 1-1.
